We signed up and paid for the twin Glacier trip from Fox Glacier to bith Fix and Franz Joseph Glacier. After several delays we went to Fox Glacier which was beautiful! However the pilot s seemed pushed to get more people to the top and did not take us over to Franz Joseph Glacier claiming there was too much wind. There was no wind however.

A well organised helicopter trip to view 2 glaciers and land on one. And it was a flexible package too, as our previously arranged trip was cancelled due to bad weather.

We had an awesome time. So luck with the weather. The flight was very smooth. Some awesome views when we landed on top of the glacier. Would have loved to have sat next to the pilot for uninterrupted views for photos .
